The law of attraction states that you will attract into your life--whether wanted or unwanted--whatever you give your energy, focus, and attention to.
You are constantly giving off vibrations of energy when you think and feel. These vibrations can be picked up and received by other people. That's why people say, "he has good vibes," or "he gives off bad vibes." You are constantly giving off vibrations.
If you're feeling excited, enthusiastic, passionate, happy, joyful, loving, appreciative, abundant, prosperous, relaxed and peaceful, you are giving off positive vibrations.
On the other hand, if you are feeling bored, anxious, worried, confused, sad, lonely, hurt, angry, resentful, guilty, disappointed, frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed out, or depressed, then you are giving off negative

By: David GassBusiness cards are a low cost marketing and advertising tool in today's competitive world. They represent the company in the industry, inform the people about the company and promote the company. Effective ones leave a long lasting impression about the business. When they are creative they can enhance the reputation of a company in the market.Considerations for Creating Effective Business CardsKeep some considerations in mind while selecting business cards. The size of the business card should not be more than 3 by 2.5 inches. It must be able to fit in a wallet.Choose a theme for the card that suits the company. For example, for the fashion industry, create a colorful business card with a modernized sketch of a girl with designer apparel. In contrast, for a funeral business, such a colorful card is not suitable.Too many images on the card will create a mess. Keep the card simple. Be creative with limited images. This will leave a memorable and effective impression among
By: Dan RichmondSeveral years ago I was in a computer store and a salesman was trying to sell me something, in fact, he was trying to sell me anything that he could. I said that I had the latest computer and really didn't need anything more. Then he showed me a web camera and I thought for a few seconds, but I really couldn't figure out why I would need that gadget. Now things have changed and that salesman could get the sale from me, because the time is right to start conducting online web and video conferences. Here are a few reasons why the age of web conferencing has truly arrived:1. Transportation costs are rising and web conferencing is one way to conduct meetings without getting into a car or plane.Imagine how much money you could save if you were able to hold a staff meeting with your distant branches without paying for fuel, hotels and all the other costs associated with outside meetings?2.

The rules regarding hedge fund investing are very strict and they restrict investors with a small asset base from participating in the lucrative returns that come with the asset class. However, there are mutual funds currently employing strategies typically seen in hedge funds. The construction of this portfolio strategy is similar to that of a “fund of funds” hedge fund approach, which invests in different hedge funds that use various investment strategies. The approach of purchasing many “hedge-fund” mutual funds, gives the investor diversity which combats the potential risks that come with investing in individual management firms and potential fund-related risks.

Having grown up with money being tight and now having been married for nearly nine years with my husband in school the entire time while I have been blessed to stay home with two little ones, I have learned some creative ways to make our money stretch. One thing that works well for us is we make companies stand by their product. If I am going to spend our hard earned dough (or the money the government so kindly loans us poor students) on something, then I want it to be worth it.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t abuse the system and I also don’t expect things never to break especially when I have a two year old little man in the house. I operate with good consumer logic and I maintain reasonable expectations. Ethics and integrity are definite qualities I like to possess. However, (more…)
As mentioned in a previous post about the performance of the Leveraged ETF portfolio, I am currently testing a fully diversified portfolio that should perform in any type of market. While the performance may be mute and more of an average, the risk should be a lot less than a pure equity portfolio. The performance is also magnified by the leverage aspect of the portfolio which will increase the total returns, but
may increase the portfolio’s risk.
I put together a portfolio of different ETFs and Mutual Funds and the composition is as follows:
(Name - Ticker Symbol - Allocation)
Direxion S&P 500 Bull 2.5x - DXSLX - 33.74%
ProFunds Ultra International - UNPIX - 12.27%
ProFunds Ultra Emerging Markets - UUPIX - 4.29%
ProShares Ultra Real Estate - URE - 4.91%
PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking - DBC - 6.13%
Direxion 10 Year Note Bull 2.5x - DXKLX - 10.74%
ProFunds U.S. Government Plus - GVPIX - 6.13%
Vanguard Convertible Securities Funds - VCVSX - 6.13%

When I first introduced this strategy, I mentioned how it could have been used following the recession from 2000 - 2002. A new interest has been shown in this strategy following the 4% drop of the S&P that occurred in the month of February. Investors are finally realizing that they had taken on too much risk and now they are rebalacing their portfolios. Another new issue is how correlated the global markets are now, most investors thought that by investing in International companies that they were protected from negative news domestically, however, last Tuesday has proved otherwise.
Over the past month the S&P 500 has declined 4%, while aggregate bonds has increase around 1.25%. If someone where to enter into the leveraged ETF strategy on February 1, this is what their portfolio would have looked like today, March 3, 2007. I will also provide a comparision of what your portfolio would have looked like if you were only invested in the S&P 500 ETF.

This strategy involves a relatively new investment product to the market known as Ultra shares, which mimic the returns of the underlying index times two. The idea behind the Exchanged Traded Fund (ETF) is that if the S&P 500 increases 1%, the ETF will increase 2% and vice versa for a decline. The worry is that people will use these ETFs as a speculative tool and since they are marginable, they can be traded with 4x leverage.
Take for instance a normal ($100,000) portfolio, which is invested in securities that closely follow the S&P 500, so we will use the SPY (iShares S&P 500 Index Fund):
We purchase 702 shares of SPY @ $142.45 = $100,000
Possible Outcomes:
Market falls 15% = $85,000
Market stays the same = $100,000
Market rises 15% = $115,000
We can simulate this portfolio with the ETF, SSO, offered by Proshares, which is a leveraged S&P 500 ETF. We can purchase $50,000 worth of SSO to create a $100,000 exposure. Here are possible outcomes:
We purchase 576 sha
